Keychron Shortcuts You're NOT Using (Tips, Shortcuts Guide)

Getting the MOST out of your Keychron Keyboard
The Keychron K series keyboards have a bunch of useful shortcuts built into the board that they don't tell you on their quick guide in the box! In this video, I'm going to walk you through most of these so you can get more out of your purchase.
Note - Not all of these shortcuts will work across all of the K series boards, which is why I am demonstrating with two different ones.

30 minute auto-sleep timer is helpful! Because of the default being 10 minutes, I have always had to choose between leaving it on and waking my keyboard 3-5 times a day, or turning it off and finding my keyboard dead because I forgot to turn it off. Thanks for the tips!!
You have no idea how much this video was helpful. My k2 stopped pairing with my MacBook Air and contacting support was pretty useless!!! You totally saved th day with that last tip! I also like the adjust to one backlit color! Thank You so much for creating this quick video and I am looking forward to other ones from you. All The Best!!!!

That was great. Just what I needed to get me started with my new K4. Thank you much.
Just found out another combo for the K4 v2; fn+P+pgup to turn the page up key into printscreen, solving the issue of not having that button. So far everything about this keyboard has just work in Linux for me and I'm really liking it.

i use a mac with the K2 and there is a key between the volume/F12 and Delete key that triggers screenshot tool, I guess it's printScreen? I haven't tried on my pc so not positive
I totally didn't know all of these, like the simple way to change the speed of the backlighting. Thanks and great video!
I was looking for a solution to switch between the function and media keys for so long. Thanks for helping me!

Does it auto activate All fn keys or just the media keys?
Thank you a lot for this excellent video! You gave me back my long-missed INS-key on my K2. 😊 Just one hint: at least by me your voice is in comparison to the music a little low - but that is just my personal opinion. Thank you again and please keep providing such HQ-content! 👍👍
Thanks for those tips ! Very useful
Thanks for this! Will make use of it.
Super Helpful. Thank You!
I've had this keyboard for months and was kind of disappointed that the static light was only white. Did not know about holding the fn key and selecting the arrow key to change the colors. Thank you!!!
Thanks! Very helpful, dude! Thanks!
Thanks for this great video. Question: If you do the change to having the media keys become the default, can you still use them as F keys? Will fn + F11 work? How would that happen?
Thank You! Just got my first BT Mouse a few days ago and was ready to return it.
The lighting tips were very helpful. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much! Indeed I didn't know about some of them.
Thanks for the tips, I wanted to unlock the lighting (I completely forgot how I locked it one year ago lol).
I just got a k7 and this video was vary informational, detailed, and easy to follow, liked and followed with notifications on
I've been in the deepest rabbit hole trying to understand QMK and VIA and how to customize my lighting on my Keychron Q2 Pro keyboard, if you could make a tutorial about this i would be infinitely grateful
Great video - One thing I noticed was the S.M.S.L in the background... I used to have one until I bought the Shitt Magni and Modi, I, you absolutely should get them, they are a major upgrade. They are currently on sale I believe.
the quality is just excellent, keep it up!

Great video. I'm currently using the K8. Love it. One thing I can't figure out is how can I use the screenshot key in Windows? Works great in OSX. Since there's no VIA support for K8, I've tried other softwares, but can't find one I can remap with screenshot.
just got a k1 v5, only white led though. thanks for the video!
tnx bro...nice video. keep on the great work :)

Everything works pretty well. There is only one issue with me with keychrone k3v2. When my AirPods pro connected with MacBook then the input lags a lot. Does anyone know the solution? Thanks
man you saved the day I was recompiling kernel several times on my linux to make it work :D
I am getting my first Keychron (K8) with no lights. Do these shortcut work there as well without an optical indication? Thank you.
Just subscribed now you are on 1K subs!
If you don't want to have fancy lighting effects but just need backlit keys, you can hit fn+pageUp to turn the whole keyboard white. This works at least with the K8. Hit the same combination (fn+pageUp) to return to your previous effect.

Recently I bought the Keychron V1 Keyboard and I want to disable the function keys to work when I tap them (they automatically work even if I'm not hitting fn which I do not like).
Stupid question but i want to be sure: changing speed of a rgb works on K8 (not pro) as well?
I'm using a Keychron K3 on MACOS, and I would like to use FKeys by default instead of multimedia keys. Any clue on this?
I have a *Keychron k3*. The *Disable Auto-Sleep* tip is very nice solution for fast auto-sleep problem in my model. Disable Auto-Sleep FN+S+O Thanks for share this tips.
thanks dude!
Great info. Thank you! I have just moved from an Alice-style kybd to a normal K10, and have a lot of adjusting to do. One question: for Mac, locking the F=keys to functions (fn + K + C) doesn't do a thing on my K10. Do you have any suggestions for how to get it to lock so I can adjust sound volume without having to use fn+F10/F11/F12?
sir can you fix my windows button and Alt button get switch each other. can you tell me how to fix it ?
I have the keychron and I think it would be awesome to find a way to make the delete key as a shortcut for screenshots!

you can re-map the pgup to printscreen, fn+p+pgup (3s until red flashes).
Please, tell me there's a shortcut for the Q0 plus that changes the colour based on the selected layer... 👀

I wanna buy a Keychron C2, but I love using my current pc media section for pausing and playing media while im in a game, I dont see a pause option on keychron?
does it remember the auto sleep changes after turning it off and back on?
My cats always press the "change light pattern button" and I was tired of restoring my preferred light pattern by pressing the pattern button many times a day. Blocking light patterns was very helpful, thnx.
Regardless how long i hold fn1 x l it wont switch the function keys to work the way i want
thanks for sharing this. very informative
I nerd help, my keychron k4 V2 everytime i press the bottom file of keys( space, win, ctrl, etc) it changes colors or press other keys, someone know how to fix???

I used the program SharpKeys to do exactly this - free, small, and recommended by keychron. Set up the key substitution, click 'write to registry', and restart your computer. Program doesn't need to run after setup because its a regedit. Easy enough to undo with the program as well. Another option is AutoHotKey but it isn't quite as easy and needs to run on startup. The screenshot key on keychrons is the print screen key (Special: PrtSc (E0_37)). Hope this helps

I have the K1, and I have made a little wig type thingy that I shove under the light bulb key. I use just one RGB setting (one plain color) which I periodically change with Fn+Lft and Fn+Rght. I hate it when I accidentally hit this light bulb key which gives me some freaking light show.. so that's why I immoboilzed it.

Can anyone help me? I bought a second hand K3. I checked almost all the key before I bought, but I realize the UP Arrow Key is not working after a week of buying it. There is no guarentee, and I don't want to bother with the seller as he only sold it to me for 40 bucks. The problem is the UP Arrow Key is not working. I tried swap the switch with del key and many other keys but it doesn't work. So I thought that the PCB just die. But then I found that the PCB on which upon this key is not dead yet. Because when I hold the key and then switch between Bluetooth/Cable mode, the key registered, but only once time only. when I stop holding it, it won't work again. I think you guys know how to fix this. I tried updating firmware and the problem still there. Please help.

Hey, great video and really clean production. Just as some constructive criticism, the bits after your title cards (first at around 0:16) where your music was still fading out but you were trying to talk over it it was a bit jarring. it made me want to turn down the volume so I could hear you, but obviously that wouldn't have helped.
